That's because game nights are on Friday. It's Thursday.

Greater Boston to PC on a Friday night is the toughest commute in the league. It's a long way back to 2nd (UNH on a Friday night).

Toughest egress from the parking lot is UNH; nothing else compares.

Mediteranio (sp?) is a great place, but a hidden gem that is quick and inexpensive on game nights is Angelo's across the street. Great place. Love Rhode Island food.

So are there any BU fans living in Colorado? I'm going to need some Avalanche tee shirts in the near future...

(I guess the same thing goes for Nashville and Anaheim. I already have a Gilroy shirt.)

I really thought I'd find out this season being as close to the team as I was. Nope.[/SIZE]

Supporting my theory that he is a certain player from the class of '09.

The shirt selection online is always smaller than what they sell at the actual team shop, so the lesser-established players aren't likely to be sold online.

Gryba has received an offer from Ottawa that includes an ATO to play in Binghamton the rest of the season.

My parents live there and I visit frequently. I go to at least one Avs game a year.

I'm not completely up to date on all the contract stuff for guys going pro, but I thought an ATO was for undrafted guys to play with a team for something like ten days and try to make a team? I also thought that, for most guys, if they play all four years in college, the pro team that drafted them loses their rights to the player?

Re: B.U. Season Thread 4. From a weekend that will determine playoff seedings on....

If you play all 4 years, then after your senior year at some point in the offseason you become a UFA and can sign with anyone. I think the date is August 1st.

The ATOs keep the clock on the contract w/ the NHL club from starting. Schroeder, for example, signed a contract with the Vancouver Canucks, but then a couple days later signed an ATO with the Manitoba Moose.

mwade is correct. No one else can sign Gryba to a deal while Ottawa has his rights, an ATO allows them to evaluate him at the professional level. After the season ends, they'll likely give him a two or three year entry level contract if they like what they see. With Schneider, I think they knew what they had so they signed him immediately, but only for the next season and on. An ATO allowed him to play the remainder of that season, too.
